| Boilerpipe Text | Verdict
The Kia Niro EV takes the gas station out of the weekly to-do list, a subcompact SUV that runs entirely on electricity. When it’s fully charged at home or a roadside charging station, the Niro EV can travel up to 239 miles. It’s still a roomy and practical family vehicle with a useful hatchback and secure handling. Though it’s pricier than non-electric rivals, the Niro EV doesn’t use a drop of gas, and it includes a wealth of premium features.
Positives
Modern and functional design; Up to 239 miles of EV range; Standard tech and safety features; Impressive warranty coverage
Considerations
High starting price; Some rivals feel more premium; All-wheel drive is not available
What's New for 2021
Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto now included. Additional driver-assistance features
Trims and Pricing
Kia keeps things simple for customers, producing the Niro EV in two trims: EX and EX Premium.
The base EX starts at around $39,500, coming well-equipped with tech and safety features for the price. Kia’s included driver-safety tech includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring. The vehicle also has pedestrian detection for extra peace of mind.
Drivers will appreciate conveniences like automatic headlights and power-folding mirrors. Meanwhile, the interior comes trimmed in premium synthetic leather, with heated front seats and a 10-way power driver’s seat. Other highlights are remote engine start, a leather steering wheel, keyless entry/ignition, automatic climate control, an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth.
For around $45,000, the EX Premium adds amenities like parking sensors, a sunroof, ventilated front seats, an 8-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and wireless smartphone charging.
Engine and Performance
While the hybrid Kia Niro makes adequate power while returning great fuel economy, the EV model takes things to another level. Its all-electric powertrain produces 201 hp and 291 lb-ft of torque, providing it with impressive acceleration around town and on the highway. A 64-kWh lithium-ion battery sits beneath the passenger compartment; it allows the Niro to cruise for up to 239 miles. Regenerative braking helps recycle kinetic energy and store it for use with the cabin electronics.
Interior
Kia recently redesigned the Niro’s interior to align with the South Korean automaker’s design direction. The cabin is modern and straightforward, with intuitive controls that are easy to access. Outward visibility is very good. Passengers in both rows have plenty of space for sitting on long trips, though in-cabin storage is limited.
Final Thoughts
The Kia Niro EV hopes to strike a balance between advanced technology and value. While it is expensive, the small SUV includes a long warranty, many standard features, and an extended electric range. There is good space inside for a small family, and the back seats fold for more cargo capacity. Many shoppers will appreciate Kia’s safety tech that helps the Niro avoid pedestrians and collisions. The Niro EV can easily maneuver in traffic and compact parking spaces, with good outward visibility for highway driving. Overall, the Niro EV is a long-distance EV for busy families, with enough modern tech to satisfy everyone. |

| Readable Markdown | Verdict
The Kia Niro EV takes the gas station out of the weekly to-do list, a subcompact SUV that runs entirely on electricity. When it’s fully charged at home or a roadside charging station, the Niro EV can travel up to 239 miles. It’s still a roomy and practical family vehicle with a useful hatchback and secure handling. Though it’s pricier than non-electric rivals, the Niro EV doesn’t use a drop of gas, and it includes a wealth of premium features.
Positives
Modern and functional design; Up to 239 miles of EV range; Standard tech and safety features; Impressive warranty coverage
Considerations
High starting price; Some rivals feel more premium; All-wheel drive is not available
### What's New for 2021
Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto now included. Additional driver-assistance features
### Trims and Pricing
Kia keeps things simple for customers, producing the Niro EV in two trims: EX and EX Premium.
The base EX starts at around \$39,500, coming well-equipped with tech and safety features for the price. Kia’s included driver-safety tech includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring. The vehicle also has pedestrian detection for extra peace of mind.
Drivers will appreciate conveniences like automatic headlights and power-folding mirrors. Meanwhile, the interior comes trimmed in premium synthetic leather, with heated front seats and a 10-way power driver’s seat. Other highlights are remote engine start, a leather steering wheel, keyless entry/ignition, automatic climate control, an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth.
For around \$45,000, the EX Premium adds amenities like parking sensors, a sunroof, ventilated front seats, an 8-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and wireless smartphone charging.
### Engine and Performance
While the hybrid Kia Niro makes adequate power while returning great fuel economy, the EV model takes things to another level. Its all-electric powertrain produces 201 hp and 291 lb-ft of torque, providing it with impressive acceleration around town and on the highway. A 64-kWh lithium-ion battery sits beneath the passenger compartment; it allows the Niro to cruise for up to 239 miles. Regenerative braking helps recycle kinetic energy and store it for use with the cabin electronics.
### Interior
Kia recently redesigned the Niro’s interior to align with the South Korean automaker’s design direction. The cabin is modern and straightforward, with intuitive controls that are easy to access. Outward visibility is very good. Passengers in both rows have plenty of space for sitting on long trips, though in-cabin storage is limited.
### Final Thoughts
The Kia Niro EV hopes to strike a balance between advanced technology and value. While it is expensive, the small SUV includes a long warranty, many standard features, and an extended electric range. There is good space inside for a small family, and the back seats fold for more cargo capacity. Many shoppers will appreciate Kia’s safety tech that helps the Niro avoid pedestrians and collisions. The Niro EV can easily maneuver in traffic and compact parking spaces, with good outward visibility for highway driving. Overall, the Niro EV is a long-distance EV for busy families, with enough modern tech to satisfy everyone. |
